- Ewert v. Canada – https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/17133/index.do

- Theralase Technologies Inc. v. Lanter et al. – https://www.canlii.org/en/on/onsc/doc/2020/2020onsc205/2020onsc205.html “The core take-away of this decision is that users of pseudonymous online profiles – a large and growing source of defamatory comments – are not insulated from default judgment. Assuming some form of substituted service can be made on a social media profile, it appears possible to have default judgment entered even if the identity of the person behind the profile is unknown and never responds to attempted service.” – https://canliiconnects.org/en/commentaries/70102
